So countries don't have rights to choose their destiny? NATO membership in these countries has popular support. Why? Because they are afraid of Russian invasion again, as it have happened in past centuries. Russia (Muscovy) is collapsing empire since Crimean War (1853-1856), but it doesn't want to die yet.
NATO expansion has been a geopolitical mistake.
Ukraine wants to join NATO but not enough members will approve especially USA
USA must approve with 67 senators voting yes
I predict Ukraine will have less than 50 votes
NATO is a Cold War relic. We live in a post Cold War world. NATO should be dissolved
Maybe Ukraine will not join NATO in the future, but that should be free choice of Ukraine and other member states, Russia should have any rights to interfere with this.
My mistake
I forgot about 2008 in Georgia 🇬🇪
Why did Russia invade Georgia?
NATO membership potential
Stop extending NATO membership to former Soviet states and war can be averted!
Georgia invasion was 30 days or less
